Ottawa senior scores 19 in win

Ottawa  Ottawa High senior Katie Sheffield broke out of her scoreless slump with 19 points in a 69-59 girls basketball victory over Kansas City Ward on Monday in the OHS gym.

Sheffield, who hadn't scored in Ottawa's past two games, hit four three-pointers and also dished nine assists.

"Katie was a little frustrated the last couple of games and we stayed out there about 45 minutes the last two nights after practice shooting," Ottawa coach Cliff McCullough said. "I think she broke out of it."

Baldwin Â Baldwin defeated Gardner-Edgerton for the third time this season thanks to the inside play of Emily Brown and Casey Millstein.

"They were much improved than the previous two times we played them," said BHS coach Eric Toot, whose squad has won nine in a row. "We got off to a big lead and they challenged us to the end but our post players were able to control the inside."
